UIC Pavilion, Chicago, Illinois - Antwone Smith (22-4-1, 12KOs) outworked former champion Jose Luis Castillo (64-11-1, 55KOs) to win a ten round unanimous decision in a fight held at a catch-weight of 156-pounds. The scores were 100-90, 98-92 and 99-91. Castillo's two fight win streak is snapped. Smith was too big, too busy and too active. Castillo also lost a point in the fourth round for repeated low blows.

not an overly exciting fight, very average fight as far as action is concerned, Castillo should definitely retire, he's just sooo slow now, lost almost every round and looked like a shot fighter towards the end
